The latest version of F-Secure’s mobile protection solution – F-Secure Mobile Security 5 also includes anti-theft protection, apart from standard malware security. Features include remote locking and wiping of confidential data if the phone is lost or stolen.

The company has said that the new upgrade will ensure the privacy is not compromised. Samu Konttinen, VP of F-Secure’s Mobile Solutions Business Unit, called the launch “the first step in augmenting (our) anti-virus and firewall capabilities”

Remote lock can be used to lock the device to protect confidential information quickly and easily with a single SMS message. The theft control feature activates when the SIM card is changed by locking the device and sending the new SIM information to the owner. As an ultimate safety measure to prevent misuse, it is possible to erase all the data on the phone with remote wipe by sending an SMS message.

It also features a 2-layer update mechanism that retrieves latest malware definitions and updates, whenever any data connection is used. A patented SMS update mechanism provides critical updates in the absence of a data connection.

The company said the F-Secure Mobile Security 5 will be available in December for smart phones using the S60 3rd edition through the F-Secure eStore and partners. The software will also be available for the Windows Mobile platform in early 2009.

Desktop applications. That’s what Dabo does. It’s not YAWF (yet another web framework). There are plenty of excellent web frameworks out there, so if that’s what you are looking for, Dabo isn’t for you. But there are almost no desktop application frameworks out there, and if you want to create applications that run on Windows, OS X or Linux, Dabo is for you!

Dabo is a 3-tier, cross-platform application development framework, written in Python atop the wxPython GUI toolkit. And while Dabo is designed to create database-centric apps, that is not a requirement. Lots of people are using Dabo for the GUI tools to create apps that have no need to connect to a database at all.

Dabo’s authors, Ed Leafe and Paul McNett, have strong backgrounds in database application development using the awesome and underrated Microsoft Visual FoxPro development environment.

While Visual FoxPro shines at developing data-centric applications, it has one limitation that cannot be ignored: it only runs on Microsoft Windows, and Ed and Paul both have clients that want their applications to run on Linux and Macintosh. We are sure we are not alone in this regard: it is a multi-platform world with more diverse needs than one vendor can fulfill. Read more…
